Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, i recently bought my car , the 996 01 C2 from a porsche dealer in germany. and of course it did come with a years warranty, for pre-owned cars sold by Official Porsche Centers. few days ago there was an oil leak, in between the gearbox, and the engine body. official porsche center in greece were i live, took of the gearbox to cure the leak, but they did found that at the lower bottom of the engine block, there is a tap, "i call it a tap' that it is being hold by 3 nuts, size 10. somebody has taken thes screws off, and put back , only one of the three, back, did replace with a non approved the second one, and finally replaced the 3rd one with a size 13!!! do not know the reason why they have taken off these screws. do i loose warranty? should they fix this problem, even if the oil leak is not caused by this?

POST 2Original post

The part you're referring to sounds like the intermediate shaft seal (see the bottom of pic below). I'm guessing that somebody replaced this, and didn't do a very good job! The intermediate shaft seal sometimes leaks, and also gets replaced as part of the RMS leak repair process. If the leak just repaired was a RMS leak, they should also replace the intermediate shaft seal, and also 7 other bolts with new, coated bolts. There's a recent TSB on this procedure.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

that's excactlywhat i am reffering to but could you pleasetell me what is RMS? and TSB?

RMS = Rear Main Seal TSB = Technical Service Bulletin
